Dear Cristina,
Its Rashid Kazmi from Islamabad. I am writing with reference to my organization Rozan (NGO) http://www.rozan.org. Rozan is an Islamabad-based NGO and working on issues related to emotional and psychological health, gender, violence against women and children, and the psychological and reproductive health of adolescents. One of our programs ‘Munsalik’ is Rozan’s media and advocacy unit that supports Rozan in its campaigning, networking and advocacy strategies. Munsalik acts as a bridge between Rozan’s thematic areas and the media. this program is also working on Ethical journalism. We would like to have electronic copy of your book. We will use this book as learning and edicationa purposes.

Thanks Cristina…Waiting anxiously the book……But I don’t get email of ur comment on this page that u have commented under my comment….I just want to request you can u plz email on *protected email* or at *protected email*….it would be so nice…I just want to ask one thing about the book either this book is in national context only or some globalize perspective also included?

Sorry for late approval of your comment which had landed in the spam folder. Some chapters of the book can indeed be used as a guide on how to avoid unethical reporting. As for publishing on ethno-religious influence, why not? In fact there are many angles from which one could study the issues related to journalism and democracy including first and foremost, corporate and political influence… For the time being, the book focuses on general principles that should guide the practice of journalism.

As for appointments at UOM at top management level, I am unable to comment not because I do not want to or fear to do so but rather because the only information we have at our disposal comes from media reports which is largely insufficient. One would have to go back to all the candidates’ profiles and check whether all procedures were followed for selection and interviews. Since she has filed a complaint with EOC, I guess they will do that. So let’s wait and see. The only thing I can say is that it’s not having a good impact on UOM’s image which is a pity.
